Overview
In terms of our campus, we've invested £9.5 million to transform Middleton Hall into a world-class cultural venue and bring some of the best facilities of their kind in the UK to the University of Hull. The Music by Composition research degree is offered at University of Hull.
Features
These include a concert hall, surround-sound cinema, ambisonic surround sound recording studio and industry-standard rehearsal facilities. The refurbishment includes a new entrance and café with a 400-plus seater concert hall forming the centre-piece of the development. The versatile space is ideal for classical and popular music concerts. With adaptable acoustics, it will also be used for music, theatre and cinema screenings.
- We also host up to 45 public performances every year and contribute regularly to musical events in the region, including Early Music festivals, jazz festivals and community projects as well as running the prestigious Newland Lectures in which renowned international academics, composers and music industry figures discuss their work in detail.
